I do get your point :) and understand that the 360 was a year earlier, if I am looking right? the 360 was though the remainder of 2007 still outselling the PS3 quite a bit at stages even with the availability of the PS3 in Europe going by VGC? I am saying that looking at the overall figure as it stands now between the PS4 and X1 it is premature as it was also premature to look at the numbers the 360 was getting and what it's total was at the time, that was my comparison in a way. It was then and is now too early to declare a winner and any kind of comeback. The PS3 had a tough time and a mountain to climb imo for various reasons, a lot were tempted to think it was contest over and the 360 had it in the bag, yet it kept on and eventually ended up overtaking the 360.
The PS4 is doing amazing and with aligned launches it's so easy to compare, I just don't think you can delacre a winner or that there has been any kind of comeback yet.

Sony was chipping away at Microsofts previous years even from its launch at $600 dollars. The best way to make bigger profits is to outsell your LY. If your opponent is outselling your LY after being behind they are sure to catch up. MS is also lucky Sony turned down the Kinect because that saved them from Sony overtaking them in 2010.

Yeah even with all the issues, as you say with the PS3 it was increasing sales year on year over the 360's previous year it was constantly chipping away at the 360's lead, it was slow but inevitable I guess. Will be interesting to see where this gen ends up regarding sales.
As for kinect, amazing to think Sony could have taken it up, their loss was MS's gain for while, I think it helped re image the 360 in a way at the time, now kinect has had an adverse effect for MS. Thinking that maybe in hindsight it was fortunate that Sony didn't take it up?
